Survey - Section One - About the Directory, What's Good and Bad for You Women in London - How did you first hear about or find this web site? Somebody told me about it I saw a Women in London Postcard I read about it in a magazine / newspaper I found it through a search engine From a link on another site You emailed me Other, please describe: What did you think / anticipate the site would be about? How was this different from what you found?
Directory Entries - These currently consist of: Part 1 - Name, Group Purpose, Women Only, Borough Based In, Area Served, Ethnic Identity Part 2 - Address, Phone, Minicom, Fax, Email, Web Site, Opening Hours, Languages Spoken Part 3 - Current Funders, Donations Sought, Contact for More Details and/or Donations. NB  Groups who are part of the directory choose which of the entry options they want to use when they first join. Is there any other type of information about groups that you think would make directory entries more useful?  If yes, please describe what this is below:
Group Listings - Originally this consisted of a list of groups on the directory in alphabetical order, although we recently added a page of links for those groups who also have their own web sites. Is there any other type of listing that you think would be useful for you when you are trying to find out about a group, its work / services, eg: List of groups by borough based in List of groups by area served List of groups by group purpose List of groups with telephone help lines and help line hours List of groups by ethnic identity List of groups by funders List of groups seeking donations List of groups by other category - please describe:
Women's Businesses / Women Consultants - At the moment some of the groups on the directory are businesses / women's enterprises. Do you think it would be more appropriate to list commercially based groups separately: Yes         Don't care         No Women freelancers / consultants - We have been contacted by a number of women who are freelance or individual consultants (sole traders?).  As some businesses are already listed, do you think it would it be fairer and more consistent to: i) Also accept entries from individual women consultants and / or freelancers, as well businesses: Yes         Don't care         No ii) Only accept information about services from businesses or freelancers that are for women and / or addressing women's issues: Yes         Don't care         No Please add any comments you might have about this proposal:
Additional Information Options - these currently consist of: Forthcoming Events, Training Courses, Jobs / Volunteering, Press Releases / Notices, Response to Policies, Publications from Groups Is there any other type of information from groups that you would find interesting or useful?  If yes, please list any suggestions you have, below: The current options (as above) are based on informal feedback and requests from groups made within a few months of the directory going on line.  One of these options, 'response to policies' (a forum for groups to publicly state their opinion about policy decisions from Central or Local Government, Funders, the Courts, the Media etc) was the option most frequently suggested as being needed by women's groups.  But in fact no groups have ever used the option during the 11 months it has been available.  So do you think we should: i) Get rid of this option: Yes         Don't care         No ii) Actively encourage groups to use it: Yes         Don't care         No iii) Find out why groups do not want to make public their response to policy: Yes         Don't care         No Please give us your opinion of this option and / or why groups don't use it:
Women in London Guestbook Have you ever contributed an entry to the Guestbook on Women in London? Yes          No If yes, did you get any response and was it what you hoped for or something different?  Please give details: Have you ever or do you often read the entries to the Guestbook on Women in London? Yes          No If yes, what type of entries are you hoping to find?  Have you found them or not?  Please give details:
Additions / changes to the directory - The requests we get from users of the site are sometime very different from the contributions groups seem to want to make and / or the ones we set up. Listed below are some of the very different requests and suggestions that have come up over the past year or so from users and from groups on the directory.  As a user of the directory do you think it would be appropriate and / or useful if Women in London had any of the following: A monthly round up of news from groups on the directory Yes         Don't care         No A round up of other related news and / or information Yes         Don't care         No A section where an individual woman or a group could comment on an issue important to them Yes         Don't care         No A section where women who had lost contact with other women they were in groups with could post a notice to say they are hoping to get in touch, be re-united, etc. Yes         Don't care         No A section where women could post information about the work of groups they had been part of in the past - a sort of on line oral history Yes         Don't care         No Obituaries - where friends, relatives, partners or colleagues could publicly commemorate women who actively contributed to the work of women's groups, campaigns, issues, etc. during their life Yes         Don't care         No Please describe any suggestions you have for new sections:
